Cow Surgery

The Emasculator

Be very afraid cow.

John and Mike preparing for the dirty deed..

Noah loved is ride with Mr. Fred on the gator.

Everyone was dirty after the exciting day so it was time for a nice bubble bath.

This past weekend we all went to John's farm and had a "cow surgery" day. It was time for the boy cows to remain boy cows and the girl cows just had to get ear tags. Mike and John were very brave getting in the chute with the bawling and kicking calves. The catchers mask and big knee guards came in handy. Noah loved watching the action. His favorite part of the ordeal was riding in the gator with Mr. Fred. He cried when he had to get out. After we got home everyone got a bath because they smelled like cow. A good time was had by all.

the idea of cow smell on boys....yuck.Hope you have nice smelling soap!

Thanks for bringing granola bars and for finding an unexpected response to them. "I don't have my teeth" will be a quote we can use some time for something! Seriously, that was a sweet gesture and very thoughtful!

Would You Help us Adopt "Mark"?

She Needs a Family!!

****We saw this little girl several times while adopting Laurel. She needs a chance at life!****

Girl, Born June 25, 2006

UPDATE: Wendy has already been transferred

Updates and new photos will not be possible. Would any family take a leap of blind faith to save her? She will remain bedridden the rest of her short life if not.

Wendy is a beautiful girl with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. She was born quite premature (not sure which gestational week, but it is listed as “4th stage”). She has CP and is completely blind, with congenital cataracts in both eyes, optic sub-atrophy, and microcephaly.

From her medical records: Microcephaly, tetraparesis, delayed psychomotor development due to perinatal CNS lesions. Congenital malformations of eye, cataracts, microphthalmia of both eyes.

An experienced adoptive family of institutionalized children is preferred. Married couples only. Older parents and large families welcome.

$1269.87 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

"My friends, adoption is redemption. It's costly exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives costs so much. When God set out to redeem us, it killed him."
